He took the job as long as he was allowed to take Kyler Murray at #1 in the draft. Factoring his height and the seriousness of the leg injury, Murray may not be good for much longer. Look at Russell Wilson... a short QB that has lost a step when it comes to scrambling. Murray is even shorter and can't see over his OL's heads unless he drops back 7+ steps or gets outside. The Cards may be in rebuild mode soon.

Their decision to sign Murray to a terrible extension, when the writing was already clearly on the wall, will set them back a decade.

We always are, always have been, and as long as Bidwill remains always will be

You went to the Super Bowl in 2009. As a Lions fan, respectfully, shut up. ;)

We were rebuilding from the Leinart + Kevin Kolb experiments at that point - somehow the stars aligned to have warner and fitz on the same team at the same time and kept them both healthy. we rebuilt for that one glorious season. that was it

but yeah all respect to the lions fans - you guys dont "rebuild" - you just kinda fester

True. There were many envious/incredulous Lions fans comparing the franchises after that year, like wtf?! They were supposed to be just like us!

After this season though, I think my Lions are on the upward. I've been a fan since the mid 80s when I was a kid. This is one of the toughest squads I've seen since the Sanders-era.

To be fair, i just wish the Lions could win a playoff game. The Super Bowl is a pipe dream

I’m almost 30 and they haven’t won one in my lifetime. It’s insane. It’s been 30 years with countless different coaches and players, and they’ve never even managed to be above average.

I'm 43 and the 1991 NFC Championship feels like a lifetime ago. I think we have a real shot next year though. Five of our losses this year were by one possession. We beat Aaron Rodgers twice. It feels like a different mentality. A couple years ago, they wouldn't have won this last game in GB. They would have fucked up that 4th down conversion. Goff has totally changed my feelings on him from the start of the season.

As a Steelers fan, our 8 game rebuild was devastating. I feel bad for so many other teams' fans now that we've felt their pain.

8 game rebuild counts as feeling their pain? Is that pain because you haven't won a title since 2008? Maybe it's because you haven't had a losing season since 2003? You haven't felt shit. Please stop acting like that pain somehow is the same as ours.

Who is the best coach you’ve had? This comment reminded me that the Cards had a close loss in the Super Bowl.

I mean without a doubt Buddy Ryan was the best AZ coach ever....but we went there with Wisenhunt who just so happened to luck out on Fitz and Warner somehow at the perfect time cause he was NOT a great coach

I’d throw Bruce Arians in there too. Brought them to a Super Bowl

Delicious-Picture995 t1_j3njcw4 wrote

No he didn’t, the furthest they got with Arians was a trouncing by the Panthers in the NFC championship. Still, he’s my favorite cardinals coach of all time

It was one of the worst Super Bowl teams ever. I believe they were 9-7 with a negative point differential

Idk if we have ever NOT been in rebuild mode lol. Last year was our one lucky shot and cliff blew and Kyler turned into an absolute diva

Acl injury really isn’t that serious in this day and age, at least as far as long term effects are concerned. Burrows injury was considerably worse and it’s not like Kyler is old.
